I'm glad to see this thread and pleased to see your responses. When I was in college, the fraternity and sorority chapters were completely segregated. Now, that is not the case. In fact, race seems to be a fast-fading issue in rush and the greek system is much better because of it. The established Black sororities, plus a growing number of multicultural sororities are strong and flourishing. The effect is an increase of minority women in the system, and to create more interest by minority women in Panhellenic sororities.
What I do not understand is the wording about no discrimination on the basis of personal appearance, intelligence or "personal beliefs". What worthwhile sorority eager to maintain high standards will not discriminate against someone of low intelligence, or poor personal appearance that is the result of sloth, or "personal beliefs" of the sort that would create distress in the chapter? If you don't choose your members with care, then you offer nothing different from an apartment complex or dorm.
